when you audition for this role re auditioning for the role oven
neuroscientists are
have the assigned her profession no so when I auditioned
II was in the season finale of season 3 so the last episode of season
three
Sheldon is set up on a date with you know a female version of him
and that's all that we knew I had about five lines it was very brief
um it was only when they brought me back in the fourth season which
I was also sign on for a guest spot with the they say like guest possible
recurring
so it was really on certain when they brought me back in the fourth season
Bill Prady is our creator executive producer he specifically said you know
the cable maker her a neurobiologist cause then you can fix things if they're
wrong um and and they really kinda wanna the character to broaden out a little
bit they didn't want me to feel confined to what we had done because they can be
very specific
direction for how they wanted this character to first appear
and then they made her a neurobiologist and the and the characters haven't
changed a lot
you get to use your knowledge in the lab um
yeah I'm in the lab set right so so
so some of my knowledge is also used even when we don't have a lab set meaning if
we're discussing something in neuroscience
an though often kinda run by me or
even you know as as a fine institution like UCLA trained me I was trained in
chemistry and physics and biology and anatomy and
so sometimes other things will be wrong in you know I I like to say that I get
like a little twitch when something's wrong and
you don't want to say to chuck Lori that's wrong Chuck that's wrong
home but there was once a scene where r I'm trying to instruct Sheldon how to
massage
like we're on the phone I'm trying to instruct them had a massage a certain
muscle in like it was just like they got close but it was the right on
and chuck it was at around the ranch except like Miami this right
and was like you could hear a pin drop and everybody looks at me like
oh yeah and he said
can you just fix in an email perfect right yes
I will fix that an email you and so I didn't have to in front of choc say this
is what you got wrong
but no i i don't try and remain a row science brain in people face
but when we do our lab seems absolutely I work we have an amazing props
department
I mean if you focus on the props on any given episode of Big Bang
just look at the props look at all the things that are part of our show that
way at their amazing
I'm but yep I have had to say like well this is what a tumor look like here
oh that's not where the tectum would be when you're down here and oh and I mean
I've actually I've carved the
you know the fourth ventricle into slices cuz you know they can do it from
a diagram but why not have me do it with key no its couple
um and also we we have to figure out what's the best
material to use to make it look like human brain when they've had those
sections
um so a lot of times it's props you're supposed to have a combat
have sheep brains and they were just props and our props guy
mixes up all sorts I'm being in for this is very hard for me
he mixes up all certain ground raw meats and cheeses and
cuz you to get the right color at least who want to get close so I know it's not
always perfect but we try and get close
also consistency is important when pretending to slice a man has to really
look right and with the tumor and stuff in any
its I mean when I watch the show it to really
you know between the physics unearthing rains very important to the producers
Bavarian packets are
I mean it's our it's our writers and our producers I'm our writers room looks a
lot more like
a group of professors then a group of writers and they're super bright
they're very thoughtful many have background in science or
science you know satellite kind of things I'm Bill Prady was a
you know computer nerd for a million years so I'm we have a very bright group
writers and producers and honestly that's the strength at the show i mean
it's fantastic that Jim Parsons has enemies and Johnny Galecki was nominated
in
we love that people love us but the show is really about
the words and and and I lighters
